Updates on future of coding's link search page: history.futureofcoding.org/history/links

Avoid screen freezes:

• Links data streaming download and parsing by segments

• Filter by segments

• Result pagination (less to render on refilter)

Shareability:

• If search query parameter is set, search that on load

  • Example: history.futureofcoding.org/history/links/?search=hest

• Update search query param on search update

Usability:

• Sort by most recent

• Table layout fixed

• Result pagination

• Keyboard shortcuts

  • f: first, l: last, n: next, p: prev, N: page + 10, P: page - 10, s: focus search

• Loading status

• Row highlight on hover

Try it:

• history.futureofcoding.org/history/links/?search=alan%20kay
• history.futureofcoding.org/history/links/?search=bret%20victor

PS: I listed the improvements in detail mostly to highlight how many things are involved in a "simple" app that only has a search box and a result list, I think it's a nice 7GUIs style app specification to benchmark future of coding projects
